Remote Screenshot Problem

Hi all this is my first post. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I am writing a monitoring program for a bunch of blades. Each of the blades has one of my client programs running on them. The problem I have is I want to retrieve a screen shot(or desktop image) from a blade without having a person logged on to it(meaning there is no monitor in use). All various ways of capturing screen shots in c# I have found will not work without a screen to copy from. Any ideas on how to work around this?

If nobody is logged on, there is no desktop. Your screen shot will just show the login screen at best.
Have you looked into VNC protocol or PC Anywhere or even just remote desktop to see if you can get any clues from them?

No, but I will take a peek at those and reply... Thanks
